The King's Speech

I am extremely late to jump on this particular bandwagon but never-the-less, jump I did and I had to tell you about it... just in case you hadn't yet jumped either.  "The King's Speech".  I watched it last night for the first time and was totally blown away. 

Colin Firth, the gorgeous Colin Firth is beyond words, (pun intended).  Helena Bonham Carter, who I have loved since, "A Room With a View", is perfectly cast as Queen Elizabeth and having lived through the Queen Mother's latter years, HBC's character is how I imagine the Queen Mother in her youth. 

All of the cast were brilliant, Guy Pearce as King Edward, who gave up everything for the love of his life; Wallace Simpson, and of course, the delectable Jeffrey Rush as Lionel Logue, trust a bloody Aussie to save the day.

Exquisite.
